I'd also refer you to what Faramir has to say to Frodo about the three kinds of Men in Middle Earth.

Yes, the Rohirrim were more primitive, more 'barbaric', but they were also the most similar to Anglo-Saxons. Take their language and names for instance. I always had the impression the author felt very sympathetic towards them. This passage is dealt with differently than Eowyn's death wish, which is openly dissaproved by the other characters.
